The Hyde Park district is a delightful combination of yesterday and today. Tampa's oldest existing neighborhood lies immediately across the Hillsborough River to the west of the Downtown business and cultural core. Historic homes have undergone intensive renovation efforts and beautifully reflect the distinctive Florida "Boom" architectural style of the 1920's and 30's.

Old Hyde Park Village, an upscale commercial development of retail and service establishments, accents the new vitality of Tampa's most historic neighborhood district. Heavily shaded and immediately accessible to Bayshore Boulevard, Hyde Park is a popular local landmark within itself, deserving of its unique distinction.
